A.RUESCH PROCESS OF EMBRIDERING FABRICS Filed April '7, 1934 Patented June 4, 1935l UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,003,810 PROCESS 0F EMBROIDERING FABRICS August Ruesch, New York, N. Y.

Application April 1 Claim.

This invention relates to improvements in embroidered fabrics and to the processes used in making the same.

An object of the invention is in the production of a new type of embroidered fabric of unusual beauty and in any selected design.

Another object is in the provision of a laminated background or base, the outer layer of which forms part of the design due to its texture and applied pigmentation.

A further object resides in the construction of a dual base whereby strength and richness of appearance is secured.

These objects are accomplished by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, forming part of this disclosure, and in Which:-

Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the invention illustrating its possibilities.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional View taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1. V

The View represented in the drawing is that of a landscape, including an Obelisk in the foreground, the shadow of which shows in a lagoon near the bottom, but it is to be understood that any design or configuration of selected subject matter may be utilized, as in tapestry.

The process of construction includes a sheet of strong 'canvas 5, and a corresponding sheet of woven pile fabric 6, such as silk velour, these plies being united throughout their entire areas by cement 1, and condensed under pressure to present a unit, the pile nsurface being outward as seen in Figure 2.

7, 1934, Serial No. 719,476

Silk floss or embroidery yarn 8 of selected shades and colors, is stitched into the composite fabric, loops of variable length appearing on the face of the velour, while on the opposite, rear side the stitches are tightly drawn. `5

After the embroidered figures have been completed, the pile of the facing material has applied to it, where desirable, a coat of paint 9, by which shadows and high lights are differentiated from the color of the velour facing.

From the foregoing it will be seen that a simple device for this purpose has been disclosed in the preferred form of its embodiment, but it is not desired to restrict the details to the exact construction shown, it being obvious that changes, 15 not involving the exercise of invention, may be made without conflicting with the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters 20 Patent, isz- The process of making an ornamental fabric which consists of uniting a canvas sheet to the back side of a velour sheet by cement and pressure to 'cause substantial coalescence, stitching 25 the main features of the design with differently colored silk yarns in conformity with a predetermined design, extending the stitches to unequal distances outwardly beyond the Velour and closely against the backing sheet whereby a raised per- 30 spective effect is obtained, and manually applying color pigments to selected portions of the velour facing.
